The user interface is very friendly, easy to use and well arranges. We need to discuss this point so that you will start using the program with ease.
From the main screen you can click the "Bubbles" in the top section to control how Speedify helps you. In the bottom section, you can swipe between the different view panes.
Each Internet connection gets a "bubble". When You can click on the bubble, you will get a lot more information and settings about that connection. 
In the upper part of the program window , you will see WiFi and Ethernet connections, Connect / Disconnect switch. If you select to disconnect, your internet traffic will not go through Speedify. Speed Servers display the country server you're connected to.  You can change the country's servers and other connection related settings using this option. In the lower part of the program window, you can see the speed graph which displays what Speedify is doing right now. The colored bars represent different connections whether Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and the white line represents the total sent and received.  When the white line goes above the bars, that means you're getting a real speed boost! Pane Toggle lets you swipe to get to see more graphs and statistics. Just click on the arrow to have more panes with more information. Connection Labels are present on the side of the graph. iT reveals the connection you are using. The colors match both the swatch above and the bars on the graph.  If you want to check detailed stats and settings, simply click the label.

What is New in version 4.0:
 

Completely redesigned, beautiful user experience.

Types of Internet connections supported:
 
Any type of internet connection is supported by the program. This includes DSL, Wi-Fi, 3G/4G devices, and tethered smartphones. As long as your computer can receive an IPv4 or IPv6 address, Speedify will use it
 
Speed Servers

The program has a built-in feature which lets the users to select the server they want to connect to. By default, the program chooses the closest Speed Server. This will give you the fastest Internet connection. The program shows a list of countries with speed servers. You can use a Speed Server from a specific country according to your need. Click on more to get the whole countries list. This allows you experience the Internet as if you were in that country.
Advanced options in the program lets you connect to P2P Server, this will allow BitTorrent traffic.  These servers are located in Amsterdam and may be significantly slow depending on your location. Connect at Startup lets you specify whether Speedify should start itself whenever your device starts or not. I f you disable this feature you can start the program manually when you want.
Redundancy mode: This feature offers you the best speed of your internet by sending all of your data over your available internet connections.  It uses a lot of data, so be careful when using it in data cap plans.

Speed servers are present in the following locations:

Adding Connections

The program automatically detects any internet connection available for your PC. If you are connected to Wi-Fi network and you want to add more connections, you can do this easily by many ways. You can use a wired network connection (not the same Wi-Fi network), 3G or 4G USB card, USB plugged phone with internet plans. Remember that if you are using more than one Wi-Fi network, you will need a Wi-Fi card for each one. Also, to increase the internet speed you need different connections

Connection Settings:

These settings can be accesses by simple click on the internet connections bubbles located on the main screen, you can see all the settings and statistics on on your connections. Current status of this connection and IP address are located near the top. Online, Bonded connection means that your connection is working, and Speedify is using it. Other connection status includes:
Online, not Connected means that the program is attempting to connect on it.
Sleeping means that the program is not using the connection.  
Disconnected: Not connected to the internet and Speedify is not using it.
On/Off switch is present at the top controls and lets you stop speedify use of your internet connection.  
You can set daily or monthly limit to your connection if you need (For example if you are subscribing to plans with limitations of data use)

Connection Priority

You can configure your connections priority from three available options; always, secondary and backup. Always is activated by default. It means that the program will always try to use this network when it is available. This is recommended for Internet connections with no data caps. In the secondary option, the program will use your connection only when the ALWAYS connections are being heavily used or slowing down.  This setting is good for connections with reasonable data caps. In the backup option, the program will not use this network, unless all the ALWAYS and SECONDARY networks are not available. This is suitable for very expensive connections and advised only in emergencies.

Graphs and Stats:

If you look at the bottom of the main screen, you can see a number of panes showing some information and graphs. You can easily swipe through these panes to have more information about your connection. First you can see your account. You can switch to another account if you want. The process is very easy, use switch account and login again. If you want more details and actions, simply click the caret next to the account name. Next pane gives you information about the Speed of your connection using a real-time graph. There is a white line which represents the total data being transferred. Statistics about the program are presented as a separate pane. It helps to answer many questions you are asking. For example, you need to know how much has Speedify really increased your speed? also, successfully saved downloads when Wi-Fi failed?  If this is your first time using the program, this pane needs a few hours to fill in. It will show download and upload speed increased, packets recovered and connections saved. If you have a non-working connection the program will shift you to another connection before your Internet activities were disrupted. Your monthly and daily usage for each connection is present on a separate pane. These stats are based on times when Speedify is connected. Finally, Latency and Loss are displayed on the next pane. It gives you more details on your network connections. Latency is the amount of time needed to send a small packet. of course, Smaller is better. Loss is the Percentage of packets that have been not successfully delivered.  Again, smaller is better here, (0% for good connections)

Settings:

The program has 4 main settings:

Monthly Data Limit: 

When enabled, you can set a limit for data use on each of your connections. By default, it is adjusted to 2GB. Of course, you can change this figure with a simple click. You can easily reset the data limit each month by default (last 30 days). You can change the monthly reset time to the duration you want (for example days, week...). Note that it is only measuring data sent while Speedify is connected.  If you are not using the program all the time, you may want to set this to lower than your actual data cap.  This features helps you to never exceeding the cap in a rolling 30-day period.

Daily Data Limit: 

This controls how much data you can use on this connection each day. By default, it is 100 Mb, you can change this figure with simple click. If you exceed this limit, the program will warn you and stops using the connection. 


Reset Data Usage:

This resets the usage stats for this connection back to 0. The data limits start over.

Remove This Adapter:

This button is only available when a connection is disconnected.  It removes all settings and stats for the connection and makes it disappear from the dashboard.  If reconnected, it will reappear with default settings, and no usage.

If you have internet with data cap, remember to set the program limits lower than the subscribed value, It measures data only when connected to the server, so it may be less than the actual data used.

You can also check support topics, version number and manual check for updates
